There is no doubt that nowhere celebrates New Year's Eve quite like Scotland, with a number of unique and historic traditions that are still followed to this day across the country.
If you're looking to ring in the new year in a truly spectacular fashion, however, then you should head to the Scottish town of Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire. While it is commonly thought of as a summer tourist destination, it's worth a visit on Hogmanay to experience the Fireball Festival.
This one-of-a-kind experience sees people far and wide flock to the small fishing town, as it needs to be seen to be believed. Just before midnight on December 31, those in attendance will hear the music of a small pipe band.
